Gmod SVN Auto Updater 2.0 Beta

Tezzanator — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:50:57 +0000

Got a version ready for testing, So I am releasing it in the hopes that bugs that crop up can be squashed before final release.

Once again, Comments are more than welcome (If they are constructive ) and will help shape this program into an even greater tool!

Bugs:

Delete mod is a bit intermittent (I have yet to find the cause)
Download code isn’t 100% foolproof, however a failed download won’t break a re-update.

Modlist is now on a PHP-MYSQL Backend to make it easier to update, You can view it in HTML form here or in INI form here. I added a few mods to the list while I was at it, the count is now at 101 Mods!

Gmod SVN Auto Updater 2.0 Progess

Tezzanator — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:07:36 +0000

Making some progress on a complete recode of this thing in C#, Things are much smoother now.

Changes

Events driven code, multithreaded (No more massive cpu usage hikes)
Settings program built in
SVN Code built in, No external application
Selection Saving and loading
Actual categories in a tree, Much easier to navigate (You can select/deselect whole categories)
Silent mode can load a selections file, making modifying a local INI redundent
Logging to file

If there is anything you’d like to see, or even some thoughts on the UI, Don’t hesitate to leave a comment!

WIP: Open Source Sim Tunes Clone

Tezzanator — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:15:42 +0000

Something I’ve been working on off-and-on for a few months. I used to have SimTunes many years ago and I missed playing it, but I remember its limitations, so I decided to clone it and expand on it a little further to make it more useful and less of a “toy”.

Some of my planned features include: MIDI Output, Up to 64 individual instruments, MP3 Exporting and an easy interface to add your own instruments. That is, of course, If I ever finish it…

So far it does make sounds however the list of things to finish is still quite long before any kind of release, I need to record notes off every instrument I have access to with different techniques and velocities, Essentially creating my own sample set. This should total around 17 Sample sets.

I Intend to release a further version with some more major changes (I Really Want to recode this in C# as I can’t stand to look at or use VB.NET anymore)
